Greasy Street

This is to those that are handed their restaurant and those of us that sacrificed and struggled to get where they are.  Hats off to anyone that is in the restaurant business.  This is hard work for sure.  Anyone that has worked in a restaurant knows what I mean.  But I read an article about a couple that opened a restaurant in California of course, and the interviewer is amazed!  How did they do it?  Tell us your secret etc.  Basically the story goes like this.  I grew up rich as hell, I married a woman that was rich as hell and we became even richer.  Then we got bored and decided to open a vegan restaurant.  We spent about 300K creating the whole shabang!  Hired the best raw food chef's that money could buy and now we hardly go there and things are going great!  Wow, what genius plan.  Give me a break.  Where is the genius plan in being so rich that you can design what you lie and hire who you like,  Try it the way so many small business owners did it, with savings and sacrifice and don't forget blood sweat and tears.  It is a little like Oprah complaining that she does not know what to eat.  Shut up....hire a chef!  I love Oprah by the way.
